THANK You Distinguished guest, good morning !
• • First, let me introduce myself • I am Florette RASOARILALAO, • I came from Mahajanga MADAGASCAR • • My current profession is Biologist at the CENTER of STUDIES and DEVELOPEMENT of FISHERIES in Ministry of Halieutic Resources and Fisheries of MAHAJANGA MADAGASCAR • In my institution, I am in charge of : • The data processing obtained from the traditional fisheries in the north-west coast of Madagascar and • monitoring bycatch in small-scale shrimp fisheries.
• I did my higher education at the Halieutic Institute and Marine Sciences (IH.SM) of Tuléar University in MADAGASCAR... and I have a post graduate diploma in Applied Oceanology • « Variation of specifics biodiversity of fishes population in the great reef of Toliara Southwest part of Madagascar between 1970 and 1997 » is my dissertation. • This research aims at highlighting the modifications intervenant in the diversity ichthyologics in connection with the ecological and architectural changes of the Great reef during the last three decades. • And it focuses on the comparative study between the research published by VIVIEN HARMELIN in 1972 and 1981 on the inventory , ecology and alimentary ethnology of reef species • It also mentions the management policy rational of the living resources in the reef
• My experience deal with : • An analysis of fish population according in the different stations in the reef • A taxonomic study, measurement and study of the health status of the reef • Comparison between fish species in each station • a qualitative and quantitative study of fish • an analysis of the size frequency of fish • the coral rate, the rate of seaweed and others in the reef
• • Last year,I attended a training course in Fish Species Identification organised by EAF-Nansen Project of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) at the Department of Biological Science of the Eduardo Mondlane University (UEM) in Maputo, Mozambique • I really enjoy this workshop because it helps me to manage the data obtained from our research and my aim is to improve the quality of data collected • I aspect to acquire new skills to improve the data processing in my current or future job .And to know how to manage the fisheries data of Madagascar for the sustainability of the resources .
Thank you for your attention.
